Slowly starting to look like a house...

But there are still stacks of boxes everywhere. And no furniture AND no blinds. Our couches and chairs are in, but no kitchen table. We just have to figure out how to get them from their warehouse to our house. OR pay $160 for delivery - but even then they won't come until the kitchen table is here.

And the blinds? Well - we'll be living in a fishbowl until April 3rd! I wanted to stick sheets up for now but Brian has forbidden it.

I'm not sure how it happened...

But Alex is 4. His little celebration was at his Nana's. He had a blast, and completely scored in the loot department.

Trisha gave him a badge that said "Birthday Boy" and he wore it proudly that day. Mom took him to the store and said he walked around with his chest pushed out so everyone could see it.

He's a character that one! Watching him grow and learn and explore this world is almost always an amazing adventure. And some days it makes me want to check myself into a mental hospital, but we can't have good days every day can we?

Pam's baby shower was that day too. It went well, everyone seemed to enjoy it. All of my pictures turned out horrible though, so I have none. (Feel free to send me some Trish!)

Goodbye House


Our very last day in Vernal. What a crazy day! We weren't 100% sure that things were going to go through. At 11:49 am the day before we had to be out we knew for sure it was a go. CRAZY I tell you! We got everything out in record time.

The night before we left was very sad. I don't think I can explain
with words how strange it was to think that we wouldn't live there anymore. Jason was only 6 months old when we moved in. Honestly, the 5 happiest years of my life were in that house.

I wish I'd taken a picture of the playhouse before we left. Brian put his heart and soul into that thing - it took him an entire summer. That and the boys' handprints in the cement - the two hardest things for me to leave behind.
